OK.. here's the deal. I have a heavily moded 02GT and due to my suspension setup their's no possible way to rout my exhaust out the back of the car. Now i'm forced to rout it out the side and I can't deside if I should go with the Cobr-R style, or get the Classic Desighns Concepts side exhaust package...I'm having a difficult time desiding which system to use so any input would be appreciated...

What do you have that is preventing it from coming out the back? Torque arm?

i thnink the cobra R's pipes look hella dumb, go with the roush set up. or have you thought about the dump off?

I would just dump it.

Save some money instead of buying a side-exh. kit to make around just as much power.

I have a full maximum motorsports suspension system, so ya teir's a torque arm and a few other things in the way. I don't really like the look of the Roush skirts for the side exhaust, but you have a point because i'll probably need to use their rear skirts to cover up the exhaust cutout's on my rear bumper. If any one could post some pics or some sound bits so we could see and hear the difference between the two would be appreciated..

Be aware of clearance issues with side exhaust. I am not sure how low your car is but they sit pretty low. They say you actually loose power because of the bends thats what I heard. Go with dumps it cheaper. If you do end up going with side exhaust the spintech sounds good.

Ya...my car doe's sit hella low... I'll be having a custom exhaust made to fit the side setup, so NO CRAZY BENDS. I was thinkin about NASCAR style...HHMMMM I wonder how that would sound????

On your body style and with your hood I'd say the Roush kit with side pieces is the way to go.
